Just a recap of my recent activities:
Friday – in the summer time, I get out of the office early on Friday and so took advantage of the extra time to go to the gym for a workout. With my leg issues, I focused mainly on my lower body. Little surprised at how crowded the gym was in the mid-afternoon. Seemed as if many were regulars. It must be nice.
Friday night my wife did a comedy monologue at Magnet Theater, the culmination of the improv class she’s been taking for the last 2 months. Just prior to the class, found I had a flat tire on my car (second tire in 2 months), which wiped out our plans to head to my New Jersey house Friday night.
Saturday – got the tire fixed first thing in the morning, and then went out for a nice 4 mile run down to East River Park and back. Run actually felt great. My leg injuries kept themselves to a minimum, and I felt like I ran a pretty good pace.
Sunday – Father’s Day so didn’t do much of anything. Just took it reaaaaal easy.
Monday (today) – got up early for a run. Decided to run my 6.5 mile Lower Manhattan Loop. It was very hard. I think it was a combination of the humidity, and also just not being accustomed to running long distances in the early morning. Had to stop and walk at about mile 4 and then stopped again to buy a Gatorade at mile 5. Then, tonight, played softball. We had a really nice come from behind win 9-7. Our record is 3-4, and we are still in this thing!
Anyway, I may or may not get up early to go to the gym tomorrow. We will see!
